We have seen a couple of choices in body kits for the Coupe, but it seems as if the rear bumper needs some help. I don't like whats out there for the rear bumper, and I know I'm not the only one with that feeling, but I think adding splitters to the stock bumper would look great. My brother did this with his 350Z, and it looks great! Thoughts?

I don't like that Z at all. Way too many things going on; looks a little rice in my opinion.

I respectfully disagree. However, this post is about the splitters on the rear bumper and how something like that might look on the Altima coupe, not the Z.

To be honest, I'm not really a fan of splitters. They look alright on the Z but I don't think they would look good on the Coupe.

I guess I'd rather wait on a new rear bumper.

lol, everything that you see red on that car is carbon fiber. You can't tell in the pictures, but the hood, front fenders, roof, pillars, trunk, wing and splitters are all carbon fiber. Anyway, I guess I am the only one that thinks splitters might work on the coupe...

You guys are all crazy. That looks amazing.

To see it on the street would cause instant orgasm to any onlooker. In fact I am having difficulty controlling myself just from the pics

i was actually thinking something really similar. later on when i get more money i'm going to take my car to my friend's shop and have him roll my fenders and sorta make it a wide-body and then for the back i was thinking about having him extend the black plastic that's already there. have him extend it and keep it black so it looks like it does now but it will come down lower so you could actually see it without having to look super close.

I took this post as sarcasm, hopefully; that was the case.

carbon fiber on black on maroon? Are you serious bro? The black on gold is fine. The rear fins are by far the ugliest thing on this car. They do not flow with the lines in the SLIGHTEST!

ROTFLMAO!!!

Not quite feeling it although when I spoke to Andrew from Stillen, he told me that they are working on a rear piece for the coupe. They said that they don't want to replace the rear diffuser as they feel that it already looks great. However, this new piece would obviously start from the rear wheel well and wrap around the back, over over the diffuser and back around to the other wheel well. Would be great to see a pic of it.

Blake, can you confirm this for us? And while you're at it, find out a time frame of when would this be produced / released
